Safety and security4.0/10

Lacks modern safety features and only has an ignition imobiliser.

Quality and reliability4.0/10

Cheap price means cheap parts. Starts to fall to bits as it ages.

Overall verdict6.0/10

Unsurprisingly it makes for a good taxi, but that is about all. As a family or commuter vehicle it is a fairly cheap choice, just don't expect it to handle like a sports car. Lack of safety and other features as well as its age are the main problems, its larger size can also make it a pain in tight traffic or city parking. For its decent engine size and grunt, it can be very economical, especially on long highway runs, and when it does break down, parts and labor are cheap and readily available.
